Passenger Attendance
Overview
Passenger Attendance gives operators, schools, and parents full visibility into who boards and exits each vehicle. NexaBus supports two attendance methods — AI camera face recognition and Bluetooth beacon scanning — both integrated directly into the platform for real-time tracking and automated notifications.
Attendance Methods
AI Camera Face Recognition
Cameras installed in the vehicle automatically identify passengers as they board and alight:
- No action required from passengers or drivers
- Instant, contactless identification
- Works across varying lighting conditions
- Unauthorized passenger detection and alerts
Bluetooth Beacon Scanning
Passengers carry small Bluetooth beacons scanned via the NexaRide mobile app:
- Driver or attendant scans beacons on boarding and alighting
- Works offline — syncs when connectivity is restored
- Ideal for school buses and controlled environments
- Simple and low-cost hardware
Key Features
